Bond vigilantes are market participants who sell bonds when they believe monetary policy is too accommodative, and when inflation becomes sufficiently high, these investors collectively shift their expectations from interest rate cuts to rate hikes, causing long-term bond yields to rise significantly as seen when the 10-year yield increased 30 basis points and the 30-year reached levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.

The Bond Vigilantes' (?) Breaking Point | Optimal Insights #shortsAdded:
It's hard to put exactly a thumb on why this was the break point. Were bond vigilantes finally acting? Was it just, hey, inflation is high enough, we are all finally switching to interest rate hikes rather than cuts. When it rains, it pours. There's no such real thing as a parallel shock, but they all move directionally the same to punish us. The 10 year was up about 30 basis points for the month. The 30-year is at the highest level since the great financial crisis.
And the five as you were saying pushing well above.5 into 4.6.
